The Art of Photography

 So what's wrong with Film, I ask?

1) Film takes too long to process
2) Film takes too long to print
3) Film's too troublesome to change from roll to roll
4) There are only 36 exposures in a roll
5) Film's so much more expensive in the long run
6) Film's so inaccurate and it's just a shot in the dark

Very true. But what if film photography was the true

I agree with your whole entry. But then again, there are people who own cameras, and there are photographers...

Some people just shoot because they simply wish to capture moments as they happen. But without the basic technical know-how, they have no guarantee these moments have been captured at all...

very true. hahaha. thanks for your input. it's more to tease people's minds than to actually convince people to change from film to digital or vice versa. personally, i love film a lot, but i don't know when i'll move to film properly. haha :)

And this is why I like film photography, why I admire my Dad's ability to take beautiful shots on film. :)

[froozzt]

yupyup. film is actually a lot more beautiful. cos of the grain and all that :)

i guess it really depends.
not necessarily ALL digital photographers are those who make full use of their mem cards to keep taking. some do take a good shot at first attempt.

whereas film, some may take a good shot by fluke.

So it really depends.

for me i admire both film and digital photographers. both are good. what's important is they produce a photo in the perspective that they want me to align to. If I can see in their perspective, they have succeeded.

whoo. thanks for input >:D

lol. im just wondering if there's sarcasm in ur reply :X JUST wondering la cus i think im oversensitive about tht :)

im posting the photos i took with mellyant soon :D

[froozzt]

no luh. not sarcastic. it was honest haha. cos that post was meant to invoke thought and get an insight, not to convince a person. :)

the world's moving too fast for us to take all our photographs with film. digital is practical, film is just.. something unique i guess? (dang, lack of nice words)

jsyk, i wouldn't call myself a photographer : )

if the lighting aint good, skip it :D

now this is the problem with 35mm film, 36 shots is just too much for me here in singapore. i'll take forever to finish a roll. 12 squares are a nicer figure to work with.

[froozzt]

AGREED. hahaha. 36 is a bit hard to go for at a go. that's why i think medium format's better, they have 12 exposures a roll and that makes things so much easier to go through.
